THE STUDY OF SEED PRODUCTIVITY OF PEA VARIETIES OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN BREEDING IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST OF CENTRAL RUSSIA

Abstract

The results of the study of vegetable pea collection of domestic and foreign breeding are shown. The biological characteristics and seed productivity of 23 varieties of vegetable pea in conditionof the southwest of Central Russia were studied. The varieties were selected based on the time of ripening. The cv. «Premium» is very early,ripening variety which showed the industrial ripeness at39 days and biological ripeness at 45 days.
